Introduction

Do you love or hate math? If you're like most people, you might strongly stand on one side of this question.

Well, it turns out that you can improve your arithmetic skills no matter how terrible you think you are. Your mind is not fixed, and you can improve your abilities.

Oakley went from failing all her classes to becoming an engineering professor. Now, you can discover all the tools you'll need to improve your math and science skills, just like she did.
